Rum n Raisin Rice Pudding

Recipe for rum and raisin pudding

I’ve grown up with Payasam. Anyone’s birthday, any auspicious day, a feel-good day- Payasam was the only common dessert at home. My favourite was always the ‘Semiya Payasam’ which is Vineela’s own entry to the event. Payasam with rice was never one of my favoured ones. I wouldn’t even second glance it.

We call it Payasam, they call it rice pudding. Rice pudding surely sounds much more acceptable to me only for the reason that it’ll allow me to put in my own ingredients, use my usual crazy creative methods. These methods are no good to be messing around with traditional and respected recipes like ‘payasam’. Imagine turning the Gods against me if I added some untoward ingredients in it !!!

So Rum and Raisin Rice pudding it is…

Simple, rich and flavourful, serve it in a beautiful bowl and your guests will remember it for a long time…

Wow! This is a really nice rice pudding recipe! I was in a supermarket today, looking at packs of pudding rice, thinking I’d like to jazz up a classic rice pudding …. you’ve done it for me! I’ll have to try this!:)

Thank you all for your kind words! Vineela-thanks for noticing my little blog make-over. I like this much better than the dull blue and green and this goes with ‘saffron’ better , right? I haven’t hit upon the right look yet, but now that i know how to tinker with the code, will probably do some make-overs till i reach the best look 🙂
